Cadbury Star Bar

As this is a serious fred i will not name the obvious..

Picnic has always been a fav. Although they are now the size of a finger of fudge...

BAR6

not seen for eons

yes, all smaller IMO and getting away with it supply and demand...

Used to love Fuse bars but no longer made.

Cabana Bar

"Picnic" and "Lion Bars" were fab when introduced. A seriously good eat, but why do the manufacturers have to be so mercenary?

I know it's an obvious question, but putting the price up is one thing, and then to make them so minuscule is something else again!

They'll probably argue that they are doing it in the interest of fighting obesity!

Caramac was odd ... do they still do it?

Yep: and it still looks like frozen diarrhoea.

Many a time as a kid Id injure me gob on a cold morning trying to snaffle a lion bar, they were lethal
Caramacs were the cheap man's version of milkybar

Topic was a little cracker, but too bloody small.
The old faithful was marathon/snickers that knocked mars bars into a cocked hat.

then there was crunchie, that started off a good idea and had me practically throwing up by the end of it

Dusty ...

my wife used to like crunchies when we were young and first "going out" together.  She told me she liked to suck out the middle and put her tongue in it!

It gave me an idea that I just had to share with her at the time.

Unfortunately, she's not very bothered about them now and much prefers the outrageously expensive hotel chocolat stuff.

I might try her with a cruchie tonight, though

...maybe your c 0ck put her off em a bit

Topic is the daddy.

Had a Frys chocolate cream before - first time in ages. Bloody lovely if a bit sickly towards the end.

Did anyone else gnaw at the sides of the star bar and then eat all the inside first and then finish off the chocolate part? hmmm on second thoughts I may have been able to put this in the ocd thread

They make em smaller and thinner, because they know the fat bstards will be too busy stuffing their face full of chocolate to complain.

I think I'll make a complaint once I've polished off my four pack of toffee crisp bars.

I used to smash those chocolate marsh mellow against my forehead before breaking off the broken choccy triangles

But the real clinical autopsy came with the orange club biscuit (which imo is the pound for pound chocolate biscuit champion) where I could strip the choccy off in chuncks until just the naked biscuit remained with no evidence it ever had any on it....sometimes it did look like it has been sucked by the dog, but on most occasions I took real pride in me work.

two which I could not abide were, the finger of fudge ffs, and the fruit club biscuit....those were machinations from the devil

...oh and that monstrosity that was turkish delight...it tasted of soap.
and cadburys creme eggs...hang your head in shame

Id rather eat dogs eggs

Ah yes the orange club biscuit. Surgical accuracy was needed there

Dusty, take that back about Turkish delight please !!

Sorry can't do it
That's not even like real Turkish delight, it's more like those jelly squares you add water to to make even more jelly.
Just a cheap imitation

Its the only chocolate I can have in the house, its the only thing my fat cow wife wont eat.

Texan bars, hard nougat covered in chocolate.

I don't blame her blackestnight
From my experience Turkish delight came in flour not chocolate

Those nuggar things were nice pumphol if warm and soft, but if they were cold and stiff there was a real chance you'd find a tooth missing still stuck in the stuff.

Excellent stuff chaps..

Boost (red wrapper with coconut filling)

I concur with JamesDean giving the short lived cabana bar top rating.

I think it was only sold for less than a year. Heard they stopped making them because the cost of coconuts went up. Strange that it has never made a comeback.

The blue "energy" boost wasnt bad.

Plain Dairymilk.
